Chapter 43: First Encounter with Pei Cheng

Shi Wan, who knew the current situation, was a hero and hid in the backyard of Pei's house.

As Shi Wan entered the Pei family's backyard, she felt an eerie atmosphere. Just as she was about to return to the living room, she heard someone talking, and the voice sounded very much like Zhan Nanyiyi's.

Curiosity kills the cat. Zhan Nanyiyi has always been at odds with Shi Wan. She feels that Shi Wan has taken away her beloved brother and also drove away her brother who could protect her. So she always uses her top rumor-mongering skills to ruin Shi Wan's reputation again and again.

If he could get hold of something against Zhan Nanyi, why wouldn't Shi Wan do it? He threw all his fears behind him.

She took out her cell phone, turned on the video, and quietly approached the two people who were talking.

Suddenly, Zhan Nanyi knelt down in front of the tall boy, grabbed his sleeve and begged, "I'll change! I'll change everything! I don't want to break up! I'll change everything you don't like about me! I won't break up! Pei Mo! You can't do this to me!"

Shi Wan's eyes widened. Damn! He gave her such explosive information? That's too good, isn't it?

Pei Mo is the third son of the Pei family, two years younger than Shi Wan and the others. He is a playboy at a young age, lazy and idle, poor in academic performance, and either drives recklessly or fights. He has changed girlfriends one after another.

No one at home can control him.

Pei Mo looked at Zhan Nanyi's tearful face indifferently. He slowly squatted in front of her and raised his hand to stroke her little face: "Then let me play a game with you? If you dare, then I won't break up, you..."

"I dare! I dare! I'm willing to do whatever you say!" Zhan Nanyiyi was still young at that time, at an age where he couldn't live without love.

Pei Mo pinched her chin with one hand, forcing her to look at the inconspicuous but abrupt courtyard in the backyard.

"You go in and hide, I'll come find you later. As long as you don't cry or make a fuss, I'll agree to get back together. How about that?" Pei Mo said jokingly.

“Okay! It’s a deal! Pinky promise!” Zhan Nanyiyi childishly stretched out his little finger, his tear-stained face looking unusually serious and childish.

Shi Wan was shocked. Zhan Nanyi was so arrogant, but she would actually kneel down and beg for mercy for a man, just to get back together?

Pei Mo smiled evilly, pulled Zhan Nanyi's little finger, and said lovingly, "You are so childish."

Just this smile, just this word of doting, Zhan Nanyiyi burst into laughter and ran happily towards the yard surrounded by the fence.

Shi Wan finished eavesdropping and was about to leave after putting away his phone.

Then I heard Pei Mo making a phone call: "The person has been arrested, transfer the money to my account, and don't worry about what I do outside in the future!"

After Pei Mo finished speaking, he hung up the phone, strode to the backyard wall, and climbed over it and left.

Shi Wan was confused. What was going on?

"Ah!!!" Zhan Nanyiyi's scream was heard from the fenced yard.

Shi Wan subconsciously rushed over, opened the door and broke in.

At this moment, Zhan Nanyiyi was sitting on the ground with weak legs, shaking violently all over.

The man who scared Zhan Nanyi like this was walking slowly towards them. His long hair was messy, and he was wearing a coarse robe. He had a smile on his face, but the smile was extremely strange.

Shi Wan was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and went forward to grab Zhan Nanyi: "Run!"

Zhan Nanyiyi's body was no longer under his control and he couldn't stand up at all.

The man was still approaching the two women, his steps neither hurried nor slow, as if he did not want to kill them, or felt that they could not escape from his grasp.

"Who is Zhan Nanyi?" the man asked.

“It’s me!” Shi Wan was fearless and took the initiative to admit that he was Zhan Nanyiyi, and opened his arms to block Zhan Nanyiyi.

But the man didn't believe it. His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Shi Wan's body and fall directly on Zhan Nanyi.

Shi Wan saw that their target was Zhan Nanyi, and for some reason, he kicked him hard behind him, "Get out!"

Zhan Nanyi was brought back to her senses by the kick. She regained consciousness and rolled and crawled out of the yard.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the petals of the pear tree in the yard fell one after another.

Zhan Nanyi screamed and crawled faster.

The man stepped forward, and Shi Wan suddenly hugged the man's thighs, looking up and acting cute: "Brother! You are so handsome!"

The man was slightly startled, then realized that he had the same goal and tried to catch up again.

Shi Wan hugged him tighter: "Brother, can I play with you?"

At this time, Zhan Nanyiyi had already crawled out of the yard and ran away screaming.

The man did not chase after her, but lowered his head to meet Shi Wan's expectant gaze, his brown eyes deep and unfathomable.

Shi Wan swallowed and said, "She just broke up with her boyfriend, so she's not in the mood to play with you. But I'm different! I'm not broken up with her, and I'm cuter, prettier, and more likable than her. It's cost-effective for me to play with you!"

She suppressed her fear and tried hard to promote herself, praying in her heart that Zhan Nanyiyi would not be so stupid and at least go out to inform Pei Lie so that Pei Lie could come and save her.

The only reason why Shi Wan was so fearless was that she saw that this man was most likely the brother Pei Lie often mentioned. Pei Lie admired this brother very much, so this man should not do anything to Pei Lie's friends, right?

Although Shi Wan smiled bravely, the shaking of her pupils betrayed her fear.

Pei Cheng squatted down, raised his hand and placed his palm on the back of Shi Wan's neck.

Shi Wan's whole body froze, not daring to move.

Pei Cheng still smiled, "Then you have to keep your word. I can let you go today, but if I don't see you tomorrow, I will be angry!"

Shi Wan smiled stiffly and nodded repeatedly: "I promise! I will play with brother whenever I have time!"

Pei Cheng released the back of her neck and smiled strangely.

He led Shi Wan into the room in the yard. The room was also full of flowers and plants. On the table were various instruments that could only be seen in laboratories, and the walls of the room were covered with talismans.

Anyway, it seems abnormal no matter how you look at it.

Shi Wan looked around the whole room confidently. It was filled with ancient designs, rattan chairs, cradles, and a pattern that looked like a formation diagram on the ground in the corner of the room.

"Brother, are you possessed? Or are you addicted to a TV series?" Shi Wan asked curiously.

It was also because Pei Cheng really didn't hurt her that she let down her guard. After all, this was the Pei family, and if she died here, the Pei family would have a hard time explaining it.

Pei Cheng could tell that there was no fear in Shi Wan's voice, so he turned his head and looked at her: "Do you know who I am?"

"Pei Cheng! Pei Lie's most admired brother!" Shi Wan said deliberately in a cute way.

Pei Cheng was shocked, "He mentioned me?"

Shi Wan smiled brightly: "Mention? He kept talking about your amazing brother, and even said he would bring me to play with you when he's free. Now I don't need him to introduce me, I'll come here on my own!"

Pei Cheng's eyes moved slightly.

Shi Wan felt as comfortable as if she were at home. She lay down in the hammock. As soon as she fell asleep, she felt very sleepy and murmured, "Brother, I'll take a nap. Call me when someone comes to see me..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I was at home, but Zhan Xu suddenly said that he was locked up at home and could not be contacted.

She was a person who kept her promises. When Zhan Xu was in solitary confinement, she went home with Pei Lie to play almost every day. When Pei Lie was taking various extra classes, she would go into the backyard to play with Pei Cheng.

I also bought a mobile phone for Pei Cheng for easy contact.

After she went abroad, she never contacted Pei Cheng again.
